force is mass x acceleration brah
Doesn't have to be piercing as far as I can make out. A big hand will spread the impact over a larger area while a smaller hand swung with the same force and speed would deliver a higher degree of impact to a smaller area - which would conceivably give more knockout power.
Now this is only theory, of course, but it is something to consider. There are probably a lot of other advantages to having big hands (grappeling, durability etc.).
Not true, Carwin is wearing gloves and his fingers are swollen from fight, also hand is facing inwards.
They both wear 4XL gloves, the same as Hong Man Choi
heres better views
Because a club or claw hammer deals more destructive damage than a sledgehammer. Because a 5 wood hits a golf ball further than a driver.
Because a rapier breaks chainmail better than a broadsword.
You get the point. Hopefully.
Anyone want to get me some jimmy johns?
I can tell you from my own family members who saw Andre literally smack around 5 local tuffs at once in a bar fight in N.Y who were harassing him in the early 80's with open hands wind mills arm swings, I heard they went flying every where....anyone that size hits plenty hard and on top of being a former wrestler/pro wreslter himself ,he was more than just a gigantic guy who did nothing, he was active and was used to constantly picking /throwing and using arm motions.
Those who think a 7'4 500 pounder will not hit hard ,need to rethink things over! His Slaps would feel like bowling ball coming down on your head,slow or not.
Okay I know Hulk Hogan whooped that ass
If only Riner cared about mma...Oh yeah. Would have been France's only chance at ever holding a UFC belt, too.
